Manilla Users Can Now Connect, Comment and Share, Resulting in Easy Collaboration

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Jan 7, 2014) - Manilla, the leading, free and secure digital mailbox service that allows consumers to manage their bills and other personal accounts on mobile, tablet and desktop, today announced the addition of Bill Share, a new feature designed to streamline financial collaboration and account sharing. With Manilla Bill Share, users can securely share account information with family and friends to co-manage bills or accounts, making it easy to stay informed and up to date from anywhere using Manilla's mobile apps.

"Whether you're co-managing finances with your spouse, overseeing a college student's accounts, helping elderly parents with their money or sharing information with your accountant, money management often involves more than one person, and that can become complicated," said Jim Schinella, CEO of Manilla. "Bill Share makes it easy to stay in the loop on shared accounts, as well as to communicate with others about the status of your finances."

Through Bill Share, users can designate access of accounts, essentially linking those Manilla accounts so families can jointly manage their finances. Bill Share also enables users to leave comments for one another, making it an easy way for families to keep track of each other's spending and seamlessly communicate about issues or questions. It can also serve as a tool for communicating account status and easily sharing updates with financial professionals, such as accountants.

With the introduction of Bill Share, Manilla is breaking new ground with a feature that is not available in bank bill pay and is also the first account management and digital mailbox service to offer this free and secure collaboration feature -- one that is built to meet the organizational and financial needs of today's mobile and busy families.

Bill Share is currently available on Manilla's highly rated iOS and Android mobile apps and will be added to the Web version in the near future. Like all of Manilla, Bill Share is completely free to users.

The free service helps consumers manage all of their household accounts, including financial and brokerage, utility, subscription, daily deal, travel and rewards, and healthcare accounts, all through Manilla.com or via the Manilla Android or iOS mobile apps.
